<p>The zombie apocalypse just got smaller. Polish developer Techland&#8217;s <em>Dying Light</em> will not be releasing on Playstation 3 and Xbox 36- Techland – the studio that brought you <em>Dead Island</em> – explained on Facebook that the older consoles &#8220;just couldn&#8217;t run the game and stay true to the core vision&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Dying Light</em>&#8216;s core vision in particular includes an open-world and fluid, free-running traversal in and around zombie hordes <a href="https://bagogames.com/play-night-hunter-zombie-new-dying-light-mode/">full of intelligent, tenacious AI</a>. Plus, there&#8217;s all the lighting and physics that the newer machines are capable of. These reportedly add up to&#8221;truly next-gen experience&#8221; Techland wants to create.</p>
<p>&#8220;Therefore, after thorough internal testing, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice,&#8221; Techland continued, &#8220;but to leave past-gen systems behind and release Dying Light exclusively on the next-gen consoles and PC. Put simply, older consoles just couldn&#8217;t run the game and stay true to the core vision of Dying Light at the same time. &#8221;</p>
<p><em>Dying Ligh</em>t &#8211; PC, PS4 and Xbox One &#8211; is due <strong>Jan. 27th </strong>in North America and<strong> Jan. 30th</strong> for Europe.</p>
